All That Glitters

Summary: disappointing, and it is part a long line of cliches
Review: After reading the Dollanger(?) series, the Casteel, Cutler and even "My Sweet Audrina", I found the Landry series to be lacking in originality, plot, and the climaxes left something to be desired. I was an avid reader of V.C. Andrews for a very long time and collected all the books up to the 3rd Landry. It was all so depressing and unoriginal that I couldn't bring myself to read anymore. The author killed off so many key characters that it was really hard to finish the book. Also, I found myself actually disliking the heroine for all her weaknesses despite her hardships. I would like to say this though, all the books before this were well-written, had likeable characters that the reader could relate with, and were all around DAMN GOOD BOOKS!!!!!!!!

Summary: the best one of the Ruby series
Review: This book made all my tears come out. I felt so bad for Ruby but then really bad for Giselle. I recommend everyone read this. I really loved this book

Rating:
Summary: Pretty Good!
Review: Although this was a good book, it wasn't as great as i expected. Ruby and Pearl in the Mist were much better. There were some great ideas and twists to the plot in this story, but it moves along a bit more slowly than the other two. If you've already read Ruby and Pearl in the Mist, you should deffinately check this book out, just to know where it all leads

Rating:
Summary: A very good book
Review: this is a very good book i have read it 2 times already and plan to read it again along with the rest of the serie

Rating:
Summary: It was okay
Review: It's not as good as the other books in the Landry series, but it's okay. The reason its not as good is because Ruby's twin sister, Gisselle was killed and so was her stepmother Daphne and the series just wasn't the same without these two characaters. I also think that Ruby mistreated Paul

Summary: Suspenseful
Review: All that Glitters, begins a year after Ruby returns to Houma, and gives birth to Pearl. The book is very suspense-filled, and has many dark chills in it. It is sort of like a soap opera. But it has the same senario as all of past V.C. Andrews books. What makes it fun, is that it takes place in the swamps of, Louisianna.

I found it suspenseful and faced-paced because, in the first half of the book, Ruby marries her half-brother, Paul. But they keep their distance from each other "in that sort of way". Still they both pretend Pearl is their child, and they reside, in the deep swamps of Houma.

All of a sudden that whole facade falls through, and Ruby is living with Beau in New Orleans, as her twin sister Giselle.

There is a chilling climax that will leave you reading the last three chapters without putting the book down. You will enjoy it!

Although you might think Ruby is a little self-ish to the people who love herr the most.
